There were two new strands to our acquisitions strategy over the summer
1. Source players from Europe (the new guy has connections there). Result - Kastanaar (subs bench) Jobello (underwhelming). Ok you have to allow some settling time, so it is too soon, but at best the outcome is disappointing.
2. The team last year was very young - youngest in the division - even younger with Willis going. Answer, bring good experienced players, especially in the central spine. Result: Allen (injured but looked good at Swindon. But we are now awash with midfielders). McFadzean (ok but not without fairly regular bloopers). The previous years's effort at recruiting experience resulted in Brown and Ogogo.
Good job other parts of our recruitment are working better...
